For Kaeya, people who are exceedingly sweet, even naturally so like Barbara, absolutely make him severely uncomfortable. He can deal with people who possess sharper attitudes like Rosaria and Diluc just fine, and is alright with those Jean and Lisa who know to scold and rein him back when needed, but someone he percieves to be too kind always set him on edge.

#hc; kaeya #//Of course their are exceptions #//Like Klee #//He can bear with her sunny disposition bc she is just a bab #//The world hasn't hurt her yet; and he will do anything to protect her sunshiney smile #//With folks like Barbara or even Noelle though; he's disconcerted by the seemingly unconditional kindness they offer him #//In some cases like with other people; he will highly Doubt it's truly so; and be On edge the entire time #//In those two's case; it just feels WEIRD being cared for so kindly. Esp with what secret he's holding #//Doesn't feel like he deserves it; and sometimes; the care even feels invasive and suffocating enough to make him panic a bit #//He can't stand that #//Couldn't stand it from Jean for days after Diluc fought him and left; still can't stomach her approaching to talk about That Time #//Will outright RUN from her if she tries; even if it had been bc she tried to reassure/help him #//ESP bc she tried to reassure/help him #//Lisa's flirting was a-ok by him bc it didn't feel too cloying; then having her around and getting to know her was more comfortable #//And got him used to her brand of care #//He does want to be treated kindly and sweetly; but when he gets it; he doesn't know what to DO with it #//Even from Addie. He wants her affection especially; but when he gets it/gets doted on; he feels guilty about it #//like he's not SUPPOSED to have it. A lot of what Diluc yelled That Night; and just what HAPPENED really stuck with him #//Traveler throws him for a loop; bc they ARE too kind. But also Snark at him. So it's a mishmash of emotions with them #//With Jean; at least he has a professional barrier he can file her kindness under #//Traveler? Nope. They are friends. They are travel companions; they are besties; co-conspirators #//They make his stomach flipflop about and his heart lurch and leap #//They are so very dear to him; only they could send him into utter Turmoil; then ease it in one conversation
